Hi all,

I've recently got a 61 plate Fiesta Zetec which I think is a MK 7 (although I'm not totally sure where the MKs start and end!); it came with the ubiquitous tyre inflation kit so I began looking for a spare.

I already have a brace and a bottle jack and I managed to track down a 175/65/R14 on what I think is a full-size steel wheel from a MK6 (or MK5 or MK7 - who knows) - this one here: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/140982229428? ... 1423.l2649.

So couple of questions -

i) does anybody know for sure if this will fit my 61 plate Zetec or have I wasted my money? It fits in the wheel well fine, I just want to make sure I can safely use it as a spare.
ii) I'll need some way to secure it in the wheel well (the standard securing bolt is too short, and may well protrude above the level of the boot anyway) - can i fashion something from some threaded stud or similar?

Thanks in advance!

I bought a 15" steel wheel & 195x50x15 tyre & this fits in the spare wheel well with very slight raising of the boot carpet.

The retaining bolt, I tried 4 different ones. You need the one for the fiesta van, which is too long, but just push the bolt part up into the plastic sleeve to get the required length.

Mark.
